A woman in a red cape and a black feathered hat reads the paper against a yellow-and-black ground, under the bold red lettering Pall Mall Budget. Maurice Greiffenhagen designed the poster in 1894 for the new series of the Illustrated Pall Mall Budget, the London weekly. This is plate 24 of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, printed by Chaix.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Red, black and yellow, for a study, hallway or home office at 16×24 or 24×36 in thin black, no mat. It reads strongly on a white or grey wall and pairs with the Beggarstaffs' A Trip to Chinatown.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
